I am acutally amazed that this topic was never mentioned. The constellation shown at the end of Mai HiME and I was always wondering if Sunrise made this randomly or if they gave it a thought beforehand. I will list the signs to have an overview first:

Well, they certainly didn't give a thought to the connection of signs and there elements. The best examples are Mai and Natsuki,Mai is Cancer and therefore a watersign but she got the fire rings in Mai HiME and Natsuki iss Leo and therefore she is a fire sign and got the ice-element.

I think some of the signs really fit very well... I try to explain this without offending any constellations^^But then I am an Aries, I am an honest individual. Deal with it!

Let's start with our lovely couple Natsuki and Nao Shizuru.

Shizuru for sure is Sagittarius. I mean all of the people I know, who have that constellation are to some amount crazy. Mostly when it comes to love. They tend to be extremely hot-blooded and emotional unstable. Sagittarius are said to be very freedom-loving and independent individuals but they are also secretly possessive. They are kind of living in their own world and they normally get easilly bored and they love flirting ( -.- so true. Don't bother with me side-comments. I made my own experiences with them and I sadly tend to fall for this people with this constellation although I know they're freaking dangerous - at least for me). When I saw that Shizuru is Sagittarius I just thought they hit the nail and to pair her up with Natsuki is where the action begins.

Natsuki is a true Leo. They are said to stick to things and get them done and they know no fear. They don't like changes and feel drawn to strong personalities. If piss them off they tend to hold a grudge. They are born leaders but then they often feel lonely and isolated.They are best in a one-to-one friendship where their ego is less likely to intrude upon the relationship.

On a short remark the Leo and Sagittarius both being strong fire signs are said to make an awesome couple (foremost in bed ;-) )

So and not to forget my lovely Nao.

She's Gemini. I believe she could have been a fire sign too but then Gemini is said to have two faces and I think this appeals to her a lot. They have mood changes a lot. But they are also difficult to understand becaue in temperament they are hot and cold at the same moment. They Their sharp wit and excellent powers of observation make them a good raconteur, although they have a tendency to exaggerate which can cause trouble with their relationships.So, this goes quite well for Nao I believe.

I have a few bad things to say about some other signs more words about the other signs to say but I shall write this tomorrow because it's too late over here to think properly and I need to paint my new apartment tomorrow. I am interested in your thoughts though.

Well done, Amaya. This is a topic we needed for a while nao. ^_^ Um, wasn't the Zodiac the topic of controversy recently? Something about a change...eh whatever I'll start with ShizNat myself, based on what you said:

I'm a full blown Sagittarius, the details couldn't describe me any better. Same for Shizuru Fujino, though you can argue that certain elements like the "emotional unstable" part isn't really her, that was fueled by the Obsidian Lord. Oh wait! Did I just say "fueled"? Perhaps "emotional unstable" is part of the Shizuru package, it just took a certain power to bring it out of her. Sort of a primal instinct. District One sure felt it, Nao Yuuki most of all. :(

Shizuru's sign passes with flying colors, as does Natsuki. Or does she? She didn't start out with all the qualities of a Leo at all, she seemed to be a bright and chipper girl before District One entered her life. I suppose who you really are and what you're all about (sign wise) becomes apparent due to events that play out in one's life. I'm not a big expert on zodiac signs, so excuse the jargon. :)

Yes, I also believe the most part of it is society and how you grow up but to a certain amount some points of this whole zodiac thing really fit. So, you're a Sagitarrius eh...Need to stay away from you then^^Midori for could only be Aries. Naming the group HiME-Ranger and calling herself the warrior of Justice right? That's me =)Hm, nao that I think of it I even studied history to become a teacher. Scary :suspect: BTW I also think Yukino's sign fits her quiet well.

You are like Midori? Does being an Aries say anything about an undying love for alcoholic beverages? :)

Tauruses are MANLY like Akira before Takumi made her an uke with his....ukeness. :scratch:

Deal with it.

Good, the world could use less girly girls. It's surprising that I'm saying this as most straight men like me prefer their Belldandy servant types....

Moving on with the topic, let's go over the beautiful Yukariko Sanada. The Disciple of our Lord. <3

Capricorns tend to be religious freaks, I heard it was an ideal job of theirs. so it shouldn't surprise you when it comes to Sister Yukariko. Of course there are some positives qualities in them that is also shared with Yukariko, they're generally kind, supportive and caring of others (she's always helping the students at Fuka Academy). My ex-gf just informed me that Capricorns greatly depend on others for emotional support and guidance through a difficult time. This resembles Yukariko's fondness for Mr. creepy himself, Ishiigami, in many ways. :)

Ishigami's not that creepy, he's just take opportunity as a thriving young teacher. Possibly he may get his wish as Mayor of Fuuka *shrugs*.

Fraternizing with the local nun isn't creepy, I'm mostly referring to his enthusiastic interest in making Takumi his next model. o_o

Possibly. His plans could be foiled by a HiME-era incarnation of Tomoe. nao that would be great fanservice for anyone who enjoyed/remembers Zwei. :)

Can't seem to find information for Ishigami in the artbooks. ^^; Maybe I'm just blind. So I'll just move onto Chie Harada since Chia-sama's avatar got me thinking about the suave gossiper. :3

Chie is a Sagittarius like me, optimistic and freedom loving. The girl loves to gossip and play around with Mai Tokiha's hinted feelings for another (whether it's Tate or Reito). She's very honest and straightforward when pointing this out, not holding back what's on her mind. Miss Harada is also pretty damn smart to ID just about everyone in Fuka Academy and dig up a quick background story for that particular student. Compared to Shizuru's stats as a Sagittarius, Chie isn't completely 100% true to the sign, but many elements are there.

I've bought the books for HiME not Otome sadly it never stated about Ishigami's bio, typical Sunrise is typical.

^ That's what you want. Look at yourself, all up in Chie's nakedness. :)

Hmm, how many animation books from various anime series bother to have bios for secondary characters? That's all right, I'll be going over Aoi Senoh's Zodiac tonight, including a triple header that needs some serious examination. Stay tuned.

I have four altogther from HiME, still thinking about acquiring Otome books as well.

You should! I think you like Mai-HiME more than Otome, but it wouldn't hurt to have the Otome ones. ^_~ Purchase them as support for the Mai-Series.

Kara wrote:But, I'm not happy about sharing the same zodiac sign as the NUN.

O_O Yeah, you're nothing like Yukariko. Other than having the awesomeness of being straight. >o<

As I mentioned early, I would go over Aoi Senoh plus three other characters. Make that four after rechecking the birthday list. >o<

Aoi Senoh is a Pisces, something I've always wanted to be as a child. XD Don't ask for any kind of specifications as to why. I just have a liking to fish (still do) and wanted to be connected with them in some way. You can already say that's the fantasy lifestyle I lived with for my childhood. From what I'm told about the Pisces, they're ingrained in fantasy. It could explain why they see the world differently than other people do (I have a few friends that are Pisces). Don't know the qualities of a Pisces relates to Aoi, but taking the fantasy into account, Aoi does love to picture herself as something grander. Remember the omake (which I provided an snapshot from) with Chie Harada? Against Chie's remarks about her being flat-chested compared to the entire student body (no pun intended), Aoi remains resilient enough to fire back with a sizzling nude picture of herself. Chie tried her hand but I guess she want to compete with her ass instead:

Moving onto four characters that have the same birthday. That's right, the same birthday. September 7th, which makes them all Virgo: Akane Higurashi, Arika Yumemiya, Nina Wang and Queen Mashiro.

One character from the Mai-HiMEverse and three from the Mai-Otomeverse. Intense shit! So observing and studying all these girls as Virgos, the results are once again pretty accurate. According to information sites, The Virgo is a fussy, narrow minded person. This immediately fits the characteristics of the ditzy Arika Yumemiya, the pouty Nina Wang and the bratty Queen Mashiro before getting her wake up call from Aswad Midori. It is also said when they shine their brightest with confidence, nothing can stop them. Arika Yumemiya all the way, being the Sailor Moon of the Mai-Series. Those moments where she was upset about Erstin and Nina, or the confusion/love Sergay made her feel, Arika's inner potential was kept at bay. If she didn't shine bright like a true Virgo, her dream of being a great Otome wouldn't of become reality. She was also willing to save Nina, no matter what happened between them. Between the three main girls from Otome, they were all good friends towards each other. Something Virgos treasure or give off, however the experts put it.

Akane Higurashi is the same way. Revealing herself as a HiME to Kazuya was a result of her being honest. Stating she is doing this to protect him and not for any cynical reasons. I'm also reading here that Virgos love being in service to others. We went over her duties as a HiME and a person, so I guess we can include her job at Linden Baum. Even without Mai and Midori around to help her, she worked really hard to satisfy the customers. ^_^

Finally got around to reading this thread. Got to say, for all that I am like Shizuru, I'm actually an Aries. Can't really say I'm all that similar to Midori (except that I do love my booze). And really the only thing I have in common with Alyssa is that I like to sing (though nowhere near as well as her).

*laughs* You put Alyssa over. Come on Baney, sure you can sing better than a child. ;p You haven't even shared a demo yet.

:D Sweet deal, Baney-Kaichou. Plus it would be a nice follow up to your Mai-HiME Destiny Shizuru photos. ;p

Back on topic, I'll be going over Mai Tokiha's Zodiac qualities later tonight. w00t!
